As urban transformation works continue around Istanbul, the most risky area of Pendik district in terms of a possible quake is the center and the number of buildings built according to quake regulations issued after 1999 is only 6 percent, Pendik Mayor Ahmet Cin announced.

More than 2.6 million quake survivors are staying in tents, and the number of containers will exceed 100,000 within a month, Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu has stated.

Minister Soylu had iftar with quake victims in the tent city in Pazarcık district, the epicenter of the first earthquake that struck on Feb. 6.

The child who was held captive by the father was not even enrolled in any school.

In a bid to save the historical heritage of the quake-hit provinces, experts and volunteer students are carrying out strenuous efforts to recover historical artifacts that got trapped under the rubble during the devastating quakes last month.

In a bid to bring smiles to the faces of quake-stricken children and help them cope with the trauma they are dealing with, the Osmaniye Municipality in the country's south has put a bus full of toys and games for children into service.

A few shopkeepers in the southeastern quake-hit province of Malataya have opened stalls on roadsides with whatever they could save in their shops, not to make a profit but to bring the city back to its former glory and extend a helping hand in such difficult times.

While aid support to the quake zone is still ongoing one month after the disaster, experts warned people about how they should support quake victims in a respectful manner.
